At 2.85 Troy ounces, this has a wonderfully "heavy in the hand" quality. A fine, old, New England pattern, Newport Shell will blend in harmoniously with any distinguished table setting.

These have probably "been to the wheel" sometime during their career, and it pains me to see Mr. Stone's work treated in such a manner. We must asume that our readers will agree, or else they'd be looking at Replacements, not here...
A similar example, held by the Art Institute of Chicago, is shown in Chickering, plate 52; page 111.

The Granddaughter of whaling captain Seth Coffin (b. June 25, 1753), Emma V. Hallett was an author and a talented artist...
What sets this item apart from other examples which have recently been on the market is, simply stated, condition.
